can't make lists in mZ Forums post

Post by gregmlang »

For some reason, I couldn't make lists in a mZ Forums post today, except for un-numbered ones. I had to type the info in manually, which defeats the purpose.

I haven't had this problem before. Any ideas? Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area.

Nope works for me. Maybe an extension? or try clearing cookies and cache for Mozillazine

Didn't have a senior moment and use HTML instead of php ?

So it's not an issue with mZ Forums?

When I did it, I just used the Forums - which use php - which means I used that. It should have worked - properly - when I clicked on it.

Didn't get any of this stuff. Just the php code - without the complete coding - and which should not show up in the Preview - I just got the incomplete stuff saying
    • [list/]
  • . And nothing got properly listed.

    The only thing that worked properly, was the point-less List. I didn't bother typing/copying and pasting in the proper other List codes. I just used that - and put in *s for bullet points - which is what I really wanted anyways.

    it just looks like a random glitch. I suspect that it's the sort of thing that goes back to acting normally when you restart the computer.
